Publication date: January 2024

Author: Elsevier

Description: Liberia, a developing nation, faces significant challenges in its energy sector, with limited access to electricity and heavy reliance on traditional biomass and imported fossil fuels. This review explores Liberia's energy landscape, policies, challenges, and opportunities, aiming to identify ways to improve energy access and foster sustainable development. Our methodology employed a systematic search strategy, examining relevant literature from various sources, encompassing research articles, reports, and studies related to Liberia's energy landscape from 2010 onward. Our findings indicate that Liberia's energy mix is historically dominated by traditional biomass fuels such as firewood and charcoal, accounting for more than 80 % of the country's total energy consumption.

Author: UNEP / GEF

Description: This publication is an output of the Technology Needs Assessment project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) and the UNEP DTU Partnership (UDP) in collaboration with University of Cape Town.

The Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Report II presents the barrier analysis and enabling framework for climate change mitigation technologies in Liberia’s energy sector which were identified and prioritized in TNA Report I. Report II identifies the critical barriers that could inhibit the acquisition, deployment, and diffusion of the prioritized technologies. It also outlines appropriate measures to overcome these barriers. Finally, it provides an enabling framework for overcoming the identified barriers and successfully implementing these technologies.

Author: Liberia Netherlands Business and Culture Council (LNBCC)

Description: The strategic objective of the Liberian government is to extend the grid throughout Monrovia and other urbanized areas. As the rural areas are sparsely populated, power can most easily be provided in those areas using small-scale thermal-, solar- and hydro-technologies. The need for more widespread and dependable energy provision means there are several business opportunities in the sector that are of immediate and high demand (immediate opportunities), whereas other solutions are very much viable but can be developed over the longer term (long-term opportunities).

Author: Africa Energy Unit (AFTEG)

Description: The purpose of this paper is to present stakeholders in the Liberian energy sector—and the Liberian citizen in general—with options that might expand access and modernize energy services. To this end, the authors have attempted to analyze the data available and to bring international lessons to bear on the case of Liberia. There are several potential pathways to consider, though the aim is one: supporting the sustainable development of access to energy services for the people of Liberia.
